I've been thinking about this general case a bit. We shouldn't be 
checking just the direct child for focusability. I've committed a change 
to CVS that loosens the focusability check to look for *any* child with 
focusable == true.

I can't tell for sure, but I hope this change would remove the need for 
your focus listener. It depends on how your Swing component's focus 
policy is defined.
